So, back to my current situation: for this Photoshop work, I decided to
increase the G3's RAM but, intrepid risk-taker (yeah, right!) that I
am,
rather than buy one or two 256 MB DIMMS, I found a deal on four DIMMS
(pulls
from recycled computers) which would allow me to max out the memory to
a GB.
I checked every online resource I could find to make sure I was
getting the
right DIMMS, and it looked like they were a match, so I took a gamble
and
bought them. (Feel free to tell me I'm foolish, but please be gentle.)
Sounds to me like you've got a marginal DIMM. It will pass the
start-up memory test, and can handle some data, but will eventually
corrupt the data and fail.
Try removing removing two of the DIMM's and then restarting the G3 and
run your applications. If after a period of time, say 1/2 hr. you don't
have a system crash, you've located the DIMM that can't handle data
correctly. If you have a crash shut-down the system and replace one of
the two that are in the system with one of the two that you removed in
the first step and repeat the test. If again you have a system crash,
replace the DIMM that wasn't replaced after the first pass. Keep
repeating this procedure until you have located all bad DIMM's
Or you could remove them one at a time until you have located the
marginal strip.
